Abstract

A container (1), preferably for receiving refuse, possesses a filling orifice equipped with a closing device and extending over the lower half of its end face. So that the closing device closing the filling orifice cannot basically be opened by unauthorised persons, but can be opened easily and simply for the intended use, the container (1) is equipped with an approximately rectangular closing flap for the filling orifice (7), which is fastened in one edge region to a pivoting shaft (6) or which is equipped with lateral shaft journals mounted in pivot bearings (4,5) arranged in the region of the longitudinal mid-plane of the container (1) on its side walls or end frames (2). The pivoting shaft (6) is welded in one end region to a radial lever, on the end of which is articulated a spring-loaded bolt, the other end of which is guided in a lug or the like which is fastened above or below the pivoting shaft (6) or shaft journal on the side wall of the container or on the end frame (2). By means of the lever, the bolt keeps the flap (8) in its closing position or in its opening position swung up against the upper end wall of the container (1), with the force of the spring which loads this lever. During the pivoting of the flap (8) between its two positions, the lever passes through a dead-centre position. The shaft (6) or one of the journals is equipped with a drive which rotates the shaft between the two flap positions. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Container, vorzugsweise zur Aufnahme von Müll, mit einer mit einer Verschlußeinrichtung versehenen, sich etwa über die untere Hälfte von dessen Stirnseite erstreckenden Einfüllöffnung.The invention relates to a container, preferably for holding garbage, with a filling opening provided with a closure device, which extends approximately over the lower half of its end face.

Aus der europäischen Patentveröffentlichung Nr. 163 859 ist ein motorgetriebenes Müllsammelfahrzeug bekannt, das mit einem als Wechselbehälter ausgebildeten und durch lösbare Kupplungen mit dem Chassis verriegelten Container der eingangs angegebenen Art zur Aufnahme des Mülls und mit einer mit diesem fest verbundenen Schütteinheit und mit einer Förder- und Preßeinrichtung zum Transportieren des in die Einschüttöffnung der Schütteinheit entleerten Mülls in den Container durch dessen Einfüllöffnung versehen ist. Bei diesem bekannten Müllsammelfahrzeug ist die Öffnung des Containers durch einen Schieber verschließbar, der durch eine mit entsprechenden Klinken bzw. Ankuppeleinrichtungen versehene Druckmittel-Kolben-Zylindereinheit bewegbar ist, die Teil der Schütteinheit ist. Der bekannte Schieberverschluß kann verkanten oder sich durch in den Führungen des Schiebers festsetzende Gegenstände verklemmen. Darüberhinaus muß der Schieber durch einen Hydraulikzylinder über eine relativ lange Strecke bewegt werden, wobei zusätzlich auch die Einrichtungen zum Ankuppeln des Schiebers an den Hydraulikzylinder bzw. dessen Kolbenstange aufwendig sind.From European patent publication no. 163 859 a motor-driven refuse collection vehicle is known which has a container of the type specified at the outset designed as an interchangeable container and locked to the chassis by releasable couplings for receiving the refuse and with a pouring unit firmly connected to it and with a conveyor and pressing device for transporting the garbage emptied into the pouring opening of the pouring unit into the container through its filling opening is provided. In this known refuse collection vehicle, the opening of the container can be closed by a slide which can be moved by a pressure medium piston-cylinder unit provided with corresponding pawls or coupling devices and which is part of the dumping unit. The known slide closure can tilt or jam due to objects stuck in the guides of the slide. In addition, the slide must be moved by a hydraulic cylinder over a relatively long distance, and the devices for coupling the slide to the hydraulic cylinder or its piston rod are also complex.

Container der eingangs angegebenen Art werden üblicherweise auch frei zugänglich auf Plätzen oder anderen Stellflächen abgesetzt, so daß sie vor einem unbefugten Öffnen geschützt werden müssen.Containers of the type specified are usually placed freely accessible in places or other spaces, so that they must be protected against unauthorized opening.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher, einen Container der eingangs angegebenen Art zu schaffen, dessen die Einfüllöffnung verschließende Verschlußeinrichtung von unbefugten Personen grundsätzlich nicht bei bestimmungsgemäßem Gebrauch hingegen aber leicht und einfach zu öffnen ist. Wird der Container als Wechselbehälter für ein Müllsammelfahrzeug verwendet, soll sich insbesondere dessen Verschluß bei auf dem Chassis verriegeltem Container leicht und problemlos öffnen und schließen lassen.The object of the invention is therefore to create a container of the type specified, the closure device closing the filling opening by unauthorized persons is fundamentally not easy and easy to open when used as intended. If the container is used as an interchangeable container for a refuse collection vehicle, its closure, in particular, should be able to be opened and closed easily and without problems when the container is locked on the chassis.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einem Container der gattungsgemäßen Art dadurch gelöst, daß der Container mit einer etwa rechteckigen Verschlußklappe für die Einfüllöffnung versehen ist, die an einem Randbereich an einer Schwenkwelle befestigt oder mit seitlichen Wellenzapfen versehen ist, die in Schwenklagern, die sich im Bereich der Längsmittelebene des Containers an dessen Seitenwandungen oder Stirnrahmen befinden, gelagert sind, daß die Schwenkwelle in einem Endbereich oder ein Wellenzapfen mit einem radialen Hebel verschweißt ist, an dessen Ende ein federbelasteter Bolzen angelenkt ist, dessen anderes Ende in einer Öse o. dgl. geführt ist, die oberhalb der Schwenkwelle oder des Wellenzapfens an der Seitenwandung des Containers oder an dem Stirnrahmen befestigt ist, daß der Bolzen über den Hebel mit der Kraft der diesen beaufschlagenden Feder die Klappe in ihrer Verschlußstellung oder in ihrer an die obere Stirnwandung des Containers angeklappten Öffnungsstellung hält, daß der Hebel beim Verschwenken der Klappe zwischen ihren beiden Stel- lungen eine obere Totpunktstellung durchläuft und daß die Welle oder einer der Zapfen mit einem diese zwischen den beiden Klappenstellungen verdrehenden Antrieb versehen ist.According to the invention, this object is achieved in a container of the generic type in that the container is provided with an approximately rectangular closure flap for the filling opening, which is attached to an edge region on a pivot shaft or is provided with lateral shaft journals, which are located in pivot bearings located in the region the longitudinal median plane of the container are located on its side walls or end frames, are mounted that the pivot shaft in an end region or a shaft journal is welded to a radial lever, at the end of which a spring-loaded bolt is articulated, the other end of which is guided in an eyelet or the like, which is fastened above the swivel shaft or the shaft journal to the side wall of the container or to the end frame, that the bolt holds the flap in its closed position or in its open position folded against the upper end wall of the container via the lever with the force of the spring acting on it, that the lever passes through an upper dead center position when the flap is pivoted between its two positions and that the shaft or one of the pins is provided with a drive which rotates it between the two flap positions.

Wird der Container als Wechselbehälter eines Müllsammelfahrzeugs eingesetzt, läßt sich bei eingefahrener Preßeinrichtung die Klappe durch den Preß- und Einfüllraum der Schütteinheit problemlos um 180° zwischen der Verschluß- und Öffnungsstellung verschwenken. Der Bolzen sichert unter der Kraft der diesen belastenden Feder jeweils die Öffnungs- oder Verschlußstellung. Die Kraft dieser Feder wird zweckmäßigerweise so bemessen, daß unbefugte Personen ohne Hilfsmittel die Klappe eines abgestellten Containers nicht öffnen können. Die Welle oder der Wellenzapfen sind derart ausgestaltet, daß diese bei mit dem Chassis verriegeltem Container automatisch in kuppelnden Eingriff mit der Antriebseinheit kommen, so daß sich die Klappe des Containers nach dessen Aufsatteln auf das Müllsammelfahrzeug ohne zusätzliche Handgriffe öffnen und schließen läßt. Der die Schwenkwelle über den Hebel betätigende Bolzen kann oberhalb, aber auch unterhalb der Schwenkwelle angeordnet sein.If the container is used as an interchangeable container for a refuse collection vehicle, the flap can be swiveled through the pressing and filling space of the chute unit by 180 ° between the closed and open positions with the press device retracted. The bolt secures the open or closed position under the force of the spring loading it. The force of this spring is expediently dimensioned such that unauthorized persons cannot open the flap of a parked container without aids. The shaft or the shaft journal are designed in such a way that, when the container is locked to the chassis, these automatically come into coupling engagement with the drive unit, so that the flap of the container can be opened and closed without additional manipulations after it has been saddled onto the refuse collection vehicle. The bolt actuating the swivel shaft via the lever can be arranged above but also below the swivel shaft.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die Öse o. dgl. durch die Bohrung in einer Stützplatte gebildet, wobei der Bolzen eine Druckfeder durchsetzt, die sich einerseits auf der Stützplatte und andererseits auf einer Ringscheibe abstützt, die oberhalb der gelenkigen Verbindung mit dem Hebel auf den Bolzen aufgeschweißt ist.The eyelet or the like is expediently formed by the bore in a support plate, the bolt passing through a compression spring which is on the one hand on the support plate and on the other hand supported on a ring washer, which is welded to the bolt above the articulated connection with the lever.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung ist bei einem Müllsammelfahrzeug mit als Wechselbehältern ausgebildeten Containern der eingangs angegebenen Art vorgesehen, daß auf die dem Hebel gegenüberliegende Seite der Schwenkwelle oder dem anderen Wellenzapfen endseitig ein Zahnrad aufgekeilt ist, das sich im auf dem Chassis verriegelten Zustand des Containers mit einer Zahnstange im Eingriff befindet, die in einer an der Schütteinheit oder an einem mit dem Chassis verbundenen Teil befestigten Führung etwa tangential zu dem Zahnrad geführt und durch eine hydraulische Kolben-Zylinder-Einheit hin- und herbeweglich angetrieben ist. Die Zahnstange und das Zahnrad sind in ihrer relativen Lage zueinander derart angeordnet, daß sie bei dem Aufsatteln des Containers miteinander in Eingriff gelangen.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment, it is provided in a refuse collection vehicle with containers of the type specified that are designed as swap bodies that a gearwheel is wedged on the end opposite the lever of the pivot shaft or the other shaft journal, which with the container is locked in the locked state on the chassis a rack is in engagement, which is guided in a guide attached to the chute unit or to a part connected to the chassis, approximately tangentially to the gear wheel and is driven to and fro by a hydraulic piston-cylinder unit. The rack and the gear are arranged in their relative position to one another in such a way that they come into engagement with one another when the container is saddled.

Statt mit einer Zahnstange kann sich das Zahnrad auch mit einer Laschenkette im Eingriff befinden, die von einer deren Ausbrechen verhindernden Führung eingefaßt ist. Durch eine derartige Laschenkette läßt sich die Konstruktion noch weiter verbilligen.Instead of a toothed rack, the toothed wheel can also be in engagement with a link chain which is surrounded by a guide preventing it from breaking out. With such a link chain, the construction can be made even cheaper.
